Statistics says that about 3/4 of Nigerian youths are either unemployed or underemployed.

Therefore, only the 1/4 has access to the well paying jobs and connections.

Only 5% of the 3/4 unemployed will get into the employed circle each year.

From this stats it is quite glaring that employment in this century, in whichever country you look at, isn’t based on what you have on paper (your CV)  or what you know (your intelligence) but who you know and who knows you. This is your network.


Your network = people you know + people who know you.

For you to get the job,  you have to be known for something-a certain ability or skill relevant to that job. That’s why the 1/4 up there keep getting the jobs. They know the people with the jobs and their capabilities are known by them.

So you must display your skill and capabilities. These will advertise you better than any CV or Resume. People will recommend you based on what you have delivered and this will pave way for opportunities to come your way.

That’s why at MySkillDomain, not only will you gain money from selling your capabilities as services on our platform,  you will also gain connections and network with people across various industries and you will become part of THE (The Highly Employed) 1/4.

Quote for today: Excellent people know and recommend excellent people.
